Bike parking space required for Donny overnight?
 
I'm looking to get to Donny on Friday night for the scrutineering and usual evening's pizz take etc, but stay with some friends locally - can anyone offer an undercover parking space for the Monnie on Friday night?

Beer will be provided in recompense.

i'm planning on getting there friday and putting my awning up but havnt got any weights to hold it down on the hard standing. if you have anything we could use to hold it down then you can certainly use the space. im sure someone will be along with a better choice soon though.

Doesnt look like it'll be too breezy Dickie

Tim, if you cant find space, let us know we'll make some room:) tho prob not arriving till between 5 & 6.

Looking at the current forecast and with no untimed practice, tyres are now being changed back to part worns, not the new ones Andy originally wanted:( susp setting being put back too.

Happy days........

TP 08-Aug-2005 12:55

:(

Do I change tyres or not ... hrmmm ...

AK 08-Aug-2005 12:56

Andy reckons NOT good to go out on brand new tyres for a timed practice - at least these ones, as they do like to be bedded in with a few warm up laps. Tyreman agrees too.

dickieducati 08-Aug-2005 13:02

yeah definitely. some brand new tyre fresh out of the moulds will be really good. :devil:

I might put some new ones on tomorrow and scrub them in at Rocky ;)

Mua ha ha ha!!

I'll be dropping the trailer off there on the friday night too, and I have a gazebo "with sides" now, so anyone who wants to stick it in mine is welcome, as always :devil:

Many thanks peeps.

I know that Domski's marquee is monstrous, so will check with him first, thanks for the offers.

Should be plenty of room in my marquee as it looks like my bike will be hidden in a proper garage ;) (#9 in fact)

Those without bricks to tie your awning to, why not get down by the garages and opposite the garages is a wire fence - should be able to tie it to that and your van/car :)

domski 08-Aug-2005 18:27

Oh, and I'm going out on new tyres for qually - Front has to be changed innit :ninja:

yeah, what you going for this time? full wets or intermediates ;)

domski 08-Aug-2005 18:37

How dare you!!! :D

Just gunna stick with the Corsas for now ;) but need a fresh front :P

AK 08-Aug-2005 21:47

Mmmm.... a fresh front eh Dom?:P:lol::lol:

actually, AK's just popped the Snot mobiles front wheel into the tricolour & shot off out for the last hour to go & scrub it in. Shame neither of us can do the same with the back wheel:( but will pop on the part used one instead.

domski 08-Aug-2005 21:59

I went out on new tyres at Cadwell and Snett and had no issues. In fact at Snett I forgot they were new and just went out as normal. It was only later in the day I remembered I hadn't 'scrubbed' them in - as it was, there was no need.

New ones for me at Donny :D





...I'll end up in the sand pit now I've said that :(

AK 08-Aug-2005 22:11

trouble is, unlike all the others:

no untimed practice
possibly damp/wet
shorter races
10 mins only for qualifying - and with the CB500's in the way;) (and as Andy was doing 1.16's on his CBR the other day, it could all be a bit close-ish)

didnt want to chance it really:)

domski 08-Aug-2005 22:12

Didn't know a CBR125 could go that quick - sign him up to MotoGP :D

AK 08-Aug-2005 22:27

:P

you fool!:lol::lol:
